Even in the Smallest World, Great Beauty Can Be Found

Weekly Photo Challenge: Thankful

This week’s challenge is a tough one for me — not because I am not a thankful person but because it is hard for me to express it aloud. I’ve always felt that as soon as I verbally express my thankfulness, what I’m thankful for will be taken away somehow — as if, as long as the important things stay secret, they will stay with me forever — like quietly watching a bird or a butterfly extends the beautiful moment.

What I am most thankful for is life itself — for the free things we can all enjoy: nature, art, and moments in time –these are the essence of life.
